Summary

In java.util.Currency, use a single time for cut-over date comparisons, when building the set of available currencies.

Problem

java.util.Currency builds a set of the available currencies. While building the set, currencies with a cut-over date are measured against a new capture of the current System time. This leads to different times being used for each currency with a cut-over date, instead of a single uniform time. Additionally, the variance (while in the milliseconds), between each time measurement is dependent on an implementation's performance of the method.

Solution

When building the set of available currencies, use a single time for all cut-over date comparisons.
